What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The traditional prescription of Liangxue-Qushi-Zhiyang decoction (LQZ) has been demonstrated to be efficacious in treating atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory skin disorder marked by intense itching, redness, rashes, and skin thickening. Nevertheless, there has been an inadequate systematic exploration of the potential targets, biological processes, and pathways for AD treatment through LQZ. The study objective was to evaluate the efficacy and possible mechanism of LQZ in AD mice. In our study, we identified the primary compounds of LQZ, analyzed hub targets, and constructed a network. Subsequently, the predicted mechanisms of LQZ in AD were experimentally studied and validated in vivo, as determined by network pharmacological analysis. A total of 80 serum components of LQZ were identified through ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS), among which 49 compounds were absorbed into the bloodstream. Our results indicated that LQZ targets six putative key factors in the MAPK signaling pathway, which play essential roles in AD, namely, EGFR, p-MAPK1/3, p-MAPK14, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. We observed spleen coefficient, dermatitis scores, and ear thickness were all downregulated in 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-induced mice after LQZ treatment. Histological analysis of the dorsal and ear skin further revealed that LQZ significantly decreased skin inflammation, epidermal thickness, and mast cell numbers compared to the DNCB group. Our study demonstrated the effectiveness of LQZ in reducing epidermal and dermal damage in a mouse model of AD. Furthermore, our findings suggest that downregulating the MAPK signaling pathway could be a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD.
